Venkata Ravi Satyam, MD
Dr. Satyam is the first doctor that didn't dismiss me with my chronic stomach problems. I've struggled with stomach issues majority of my life and have been brushed off by multiple doctors. I felt validated for the first time in years from him and he got to the bottom of my stomach issues. I hadn't realized how I just got used to always feeling rotten until I was finally feeling better. I truly appreciate him. I fell through the cracks for many years and glad Dr. Satyam didn't let me fall further.

Sonia Friedman, MD
I highly recommend Dr. Friedman as a gastroenterologist. I actually left my prior gastroenterologist to go to Dr. Friedman because she came highly recommended to me from a friend who is also a patient of Dr. Friedman’s. I’m so lucky to have had her referred to me. I couldn’t be in better hands.

Sonia Friedman, MD
Dr. Friedman maintains a friendly and professional demeanor at all times. She very carefully asks probing questions concerning my overall health and symptoms/conditions, including those that may be tangential to the treatment for my Crohn's disease. Dr. Friedman makes me feel quite at ease and repeatedly justifies my recommending her and Tufts to others experiencing GI medical issues.

After getting off the zoom call with Sara I felt inspired. I felt uplifted and I felt confident that my new diagnosis is going to be something that I can deal with and I will be fine and back to my regular self real soon. She encouraged me to set some goals and they were definitely attainable.. She’s awesome.
